Dreyfuss hit the nail on the head! He was also incredible as dick Cheney in Oliver Stone's movie "W". The scene where Cheney is infront of a map of the world, and explains his plan for American domination, is worthy of an Oscar and the best reason to see this movie.

This is one of the most intelligent statements I've heard in a long time.
I believe that all of these subjects are the most necessary elements of improving the education system in the world.
Teaching our children to apply logic to their thought processes, and as much as possible removing emotion would be most beneficial.
Also teaching, and promoting compassion is an essential part of education.
Improvement in technology will eventually
CHANGE the world.

This is what SHOULD be known as a true AMERICAN! Everyone thinks that being good little boys and girls, and supporting your Officials no matter what, and praying to Jesus is what being American is all about. WRONG! Question your government! WAKE UP. We have been slowly lulled to sleep as a people by our 24 hour fast food, and our safety, and Television! Just about anything they can get us to do to take the focus off of them (the powers that be). FIGHT THE POWER EVERYDAY

I have a feeling the U.S gvmt would rather issue martial law and become a totalitarian state than fall. Then and only then, will the american ppl understand. It will be too late by then tho. we will have handed them all our rights on a silver platter and people like us will be unheard of

True, there are some places Western Europe) that are even freer today. But America was the first to start what today has become fairly commonplace.

Its true man, but most places based their democracies on america in some way. Im not saying this as a patriotic thing, I am not even american. But the two great beacons of light and hope in history are Rome (at the start) and America.

his logic is a lot of what Randall Robinson has been saying for decades now. If you want change and are tired of being fed "controlled news" then you have to take it upon YOURSELF to inquire about what your government, even if it means that you're harrassing them (senators, congressmen/women). We elected them to work for us...not the other way around.
